    Yet Trump's lawyers did not raise any objections to the testimony. Hell he may be able to appeal, if he is found guilty, for ineffective counsel. However, you get what you can I guess since no competent attorneys want to work for him.

    Did you know that the prosecution painted a picture of what an a$$hole he was? Do you know why?

    Thanks for the Xeet. I knew Scott was there today and I wondered if he was missing anything going on in the Senate, but I got busy and didn't look

    Trump could also take the stand himself.

    False. They objected to her testimony and scope. Overruled. The judge is a clown trying to cover his ass now.

    Actually, Trump is the one who's been desperately trying to to cover his crooked ass the past few years. That's a fact.

    Those 2 things can both be true. They are not exclusive.

    I think the judge has been far too lenient with Trump. Anyone else would already be in jail for failing to abide to the gag order over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

    Trump’s lawyers could’ve completely neutralized Stormy Daniels’ testimony by simply saying they don’t contest her assertion that a sexual encounter took place. That would’ve hamstrung the prosecution from putting her on the stand. Instead they chose to fight it and even extend her testimony through an aggressive cross examination.

    Perhaps your seat in the court room was closer than Merchan's, who even cited examples...

    I suspect trump's lawyer was instructed to go after Ms. Daniels hard to attack her character. Bad move, Ms. Daniels was on point throughout her testimony. She was well-prepared and presented her testimony well.

    They objected to her testifying. Not the questions she was asked. Even the judge told Trump's lawyers he was shocked they barely objected to anything.

    FIFY.

    As a casual observation, there are women from some types of professions who learn how to stand up for themselves in order to survive. If Stormy’s ability to stand up for herself was in question, it did not take long for her to answer that question. Man Baby’s lawyers must have known right away, yet they still went after her.
